A truly delightful and inspiring novella exploring ageing, loss and friendship. Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun gave me all the feels 🙂🙂. Highly recommended!

Was a joy and a privilege to hear his poetry in the flesh and listen to him reminisce over his career and share his thoughts on current politics.
